    Floyd sells more ppv than Pac. Half of those ppv orders just want to see Floyd get beat. Heck, I order every Floyd fight and I'm a Pac fan.

    Since 2007:

    Mayweather Vs DLH = 2,400,000
    Mayweather Vs Hatton = 850,000
    Mayweather Vs Marquez = 1,050,000
    Mayweather Vs Mosley = 1,400,000
    -------------
    Total 5,700,000

    Pac Vs Solis = 200,000
    Pac Vs MAB II = 350,000
    Pac Vs JMM II = 400,000
    Pac Vs Diaz = 250,000*
    Pac V De La Hoya = 1,250,000
    Pac V Hatton = 850,000
    Pac V Cotto = 1,250,000
    Pac V Clottey = 700,000
    Pac V Margarito = 1,150,000
    --------------
    6,400,000* (probably a few thousand less based on source for Diaz PPV numbers)

    Now given DLH is the main PPV draw that we could take away from both fighters resume.

    Which would then look like:

    Mayweather Vs Hatton = 850,000
    Mayweather Vs Marquez = 1,050,000
    Mayweather Vs Mosley = 1,400,000
    -------------
    Total 3,300,000

    Pac Vs Solis = 200,000
    Pac Vs MAB II = 350,000
    Pac Vs JMM II = 400,000
    Pac Vs Diaz = 250,000*
    Pac V Hatton = 850,000
    Pac V Cotto = 1,250,000
    Pac V Clottey = 700,000
    Pac V Margarito = 1,150,000
    --------------
    5,150,000*

    wow, Pac had more mainstream American media covering him before this fight than any fighter I've ever seen. De la Hoya and Tyson included. The muther****er was on 20/20 and CNN and late night talk shows etc...and they still couldn't break Floyds numbers even though they had a guy with a huge mexican fan base and Floyd had Mosley who doesn't have a fanatic fan base at all. Just proves that Floyds still by far the bigger draw but *******s will find something to try and warp the facts. PPV #'s don't lie, can't argue with facts.

    :deal


    Yep. They want so badly to bring Floyd down. But they cant do it. Manny Pacquiaos supposedly a ****ing ICON, and the people still pick Mayweather time and time again as the face of boxing.

    I'd take door B. Considering Floyd fought fresher versions of the guys Pacquiao, beat while beating 2 lineal welterweight champion and the MAN at the weight in his last fight.

    3 fighters on the P4P top 10. 3 hall of famers. 2 lineal titlests. And 3 ATG's.

    You guys know Pac and Floyd aren't negotiating right? Last I checked one guy wants to fight, one doesn't.

    so you're comparing 3 fights to 8...then taking away the biggest ppv gross? hell of an argument there fella...considering dlh/floyd did almost more than twice that dlh/pac generated? but whatever haha! twist it however you want to fit your agenda.

    on another note:..maybe you can make an argument about how pac is just as big (if not bigger) draw based on the hatton fight...both 850k (floyd/pac)...is that right?

    Come on man face of boxing ? People taking down Mayweather's picture literally and sponsors even pulling away from him. Manny is with NIKE was on 60 minutes becoming one of the biggest names in all of sports let alone boxing. Nike puts a guy worldwide who is not the face of boxing?

    Frequency of fights makes a difference. Also how fresh the guy is.

    lmao everyone knows pac has taken over mayweather as the 'face' of boxing. mayweather sells more ppvs because he's american and talks trash and has all these low iq hip hop michiganwarrior types buying his garbage fights that happen once a year

    if Michael Jordan beat Manny at basketball is Michael Jordan P4P ?
    Floyd beat JMM at a different sport. JMM is not a WW. He never once before tired this weight and most of his career was 2 classes below. These are smaller men do you know how it important is? Why do you think Floyd paid 600k to have just 2 lbs over the limit ? Thats a handicap. Why does the best need a handicap to win ?
    Mosley at 39 off a layoff isn't beating what Shane is known for. Again that is having an edge that an ATG would not welcome. To do this 2x in a row shows you Floyd does not have confidence he can go in and beat the best Welterweights. Exactly why he won't fight Manny. Exactly why those wins means nothing and even Sergio Martinez zipped by him. He keeps ducking and one by one they r coming to take his place.

    PBF Money Mayweather is the biggest draw in Boxing as shown by his pay per view fights and turnover generated from his fights. The facts and the bottomline don't lie that is for sure. The common factor in all this multmillion dollar promotions is PBF.
